I have a LAN setup as follows:

1 dual boot Win 2k/SuSE Linux 7.3 Pro
3 Win 98 SE (UK) boxes.
LinkSys router
3 Com cable modem

I have setup the 3 Win 98 boxes so that I can access the drives from Win 2k.
In the process of trying to access the 3 boxes from Linux with smbclient, I
have noticed that pinging doesn't work from any Win 98 box to any other Win
98 box. At least as far as I could tell. That ping window disapears in a jif
and you never get to read the final conclusions at the bottom. Any ideas what
the problem is or at least how I can get to keep the ping window open long
enough to read the conclusions at the bottom?

Cheers,

Brian
